The award giving format was exhaustively reworked in the following year onwards and the next event that was organized in 2008, the film performances of the preceding year alone were taken up for the Awards, with most of the choices were made by a committee, while selections for five categories such as Favorite Hero, Favorite Heroine, Favorite Film, Favorite Director and Favorite Song to be chosen by viewers’ votes. The award covering Favorite Song was newly brought in from 2008.
